Thanks for all the feedback guys! really helpful. honestly. so ive been trying to flip myself upside down.. and im struggling a bit. i can totally do it, but i think im doing it the wrong way. this is what i do —
Inside- Left hand below
outside- Right hand above
i kick out with my right leg, and when i come to hang on for my dear life, my right hand is in the way. im trying to watch videos to try and improve, but im finding it impossible to kick up with my left leg. and ive bruised my hip several times attempting to do that.Help !! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

Thanks Taylor! =) yeah i didnt used to stretch before either. i had been waiting to get my pole for so long when i got it im like forget stretching ima just get on this thing and start learning some moves. but what i learned was its a majjjjjjjjjor pain in the ass if you dont stretch and warm up first cause i ended up pulling a muscle in my arm, which set me out of pole dancing for a day or two. anyway. ive begun to streatch more and more after loosening up my body and getting my heart rate up, since i want to be able to master the splits. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_tongue.gif

I was just wondering. When you guys do inverts, where do you exactly grip the pole? in the videos it seems like its very close to the crotch but is it near the crotch or in the middle of your thighs? cause when i grip it near the crotch it hurts so bad https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif

Well.. I’m having the most trouble gripping the pole with my thighs. I start gripping the pole with my legs i even use the crossing of the legs to get that good grip and i first feel the anguishing pain, then i start to slip off the pole nd slide down and if i were to grip any tighter, the pain becomes even worse. I tried to put one arm underneath and open my legs but i dont have that kind of upper body strength yet so i fell =( nd yes i do have some nice bruising on my thighs and some major thigh pain haha. thanx! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif

Woohoo! i got the courage to tighten it just a little more and the unscrewing wasnt so bad! it still happend but not as much as before. and i was able to execute the spins left handed easily with not much trouble! So since i was able to unscrew it easily while putting it down im going to tighten it a little harder next time! =D

hmm. well im having the same problem but mine doesnt crack. it happens everytime after i put my pole up. my ceiling doesnt have a flat finish its shiny, so it leaves a mark and i have like five different spots on my ceiling. however when i tried to wipe it away with a wet cloth, (i used one of those Clorox wipe thingies) it came right off. Try wiping it away if its just leaving a mark. if its cracking the ceiling, then that probably means that that part of the ceiling doesnt have a joist. If you want a way to find where the joists in your ceiling are, you can buy a stud finder which helps you locate the joists in youre ceiling , and then you can place it in between the two joists and you shouldnt have that problem. If you dont want to buy a stud finder, then you can try knocking on your ceiling: when it makes a solid sound, you’ve got a joist. when it makes a hollow sound, its empty. its making that semicircle because you probably have it under one of the joists only instead of inbetween two. well, good luck! =)

Eventually, the pain will go away. The pain your feeling is your muscles being torn, because you are doing harder moves that require more strength, which you don’t have. So the muscles get torn, and as they start to recover they become stronger and you will be able to do those moves without much pain. the harder the move is the stronger you need to be, and since you haven’t done these moves before, your muscles arent used to this kind of exercise. so they will tear and recover. as for me, I just push through the pain until i cannot grip the pole anymore.=)

Well, i tighten it about as much as i can even my boyfriend came over nd helped me set it up the first time, and he was the one that tightened it and it happened from the first time. and i get scared to tighten it too much to the point where i cant unscrew it, since my dad is close minded i have to put it up and down every time i need to use it. -_- i do use the metal things that come with it but idk.. maybe ill try to tighten it a little more. about the gripping i feel like if i grip any looser i wont be able to do a thing -_- ugh this is irritating. well ill try to screw it on tighter nd ill let you guys know what happened. thanks for your suggestions!
